1 J-aircraft.com 2001 PH group project data sheet Color and Markings of the Japanese Explosive Ordnance at Pearl Harbor, A Summary by Bill Sanborn This is a summary of many posts presented at J-Aircraft.com and of some of my personal references regarding the color and markings of the aerial explosive ordnance dropped by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. According to the noted Pearl Harbor historian, David Aiken, there where 5 weapons deployed during the strike. They were as follows: Bombs: Type 99 #80 mark kg armor piercing, for attacking capital ships Type 99 #25 Model 1Ordinary bomb, for attacking ship targets Type 98 #25 Land bomb kg bomb, for attacking land targets Type 97 #6 Land bomb 60 kg bomb, for attacking land targets Torpedo: Type 91 Modification kg The deployment of the weapons is as follows: 800 kg bombs: high level Kates Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu 250 kg ordinary bombs: second wave Vals - Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu 250 kg land bombs: first wave Vals Shokaku, Zuikaku Mix of 60 kg and 250 kg land bombs: second wave Kates - Shokaku, Zuikaku Torpedo: Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu page 1 of 10

8 Color Comments Bombs: In general, there were two marking systems for Japanese Naval bombs during WWII. They are referred to as the old and the new. It is not completely clear as to when the old ended and the new began. The bombs used at Pearl Harbor seem to represent both systems. The Type 99 #80 Mark 5 appears to be painted in the new markings based on photographs. The three smaller bombs were most likely marked in the old system, since most of the ordnance recovered throughout the war was marked in the old system. It is a safe bet, until artifacts are recovered/examined, that these markings are reliable for the Pearl Harbor time frame. However, David Aiken is of the opinion that all the bombs were in the new markings. He has also indicated that the US Army Signal Corp archives contain photos of the recovered UXO, but the photos have not been revisited to determine if the markings can be ascertained. All sources indicate that the Japanese Naval bombs were painted in gray, as opposed to the black commonly used by aviation artists. Black was in fact used by the IJAAF for its bombs. The exact color of gray has not been reported by my sources and in fact no single color may exist. Reference 1 states, This color varies from greenish gray to bluish gray depending on variations in the paint and weathering. This paint is applied over a red [iron oxide] anti-corrosion paint. Reference 2 reports similar color variation and adds, This color may vary from light gray to dark gray. A general consensus of the sources seems to lean toward lighter shades of gray. J3 has been suggested. A possible modeling paint is Testor s Model Master page 8 of 10
9 (enamel) IJA Light Gray #2115 (partially inspired by the new Hasegawa 1/48 th Kate directions). Other colors: All the following colors are just guesses. The green has been suggested as N1. Any Naval topside green will probably do. For the blue, a mid to dark hue is most likely. The red is probably Hinomaru red. These bombs were most likely painted at the factory and not in the field, so aircraft color standards may not apply. David Aiken has indicated that the bomb racks on the Kate were black. The trapeze arms and main rack for the Val appear to be black based upon the photos in Reference 8. No wing racks for the Vals were mounted for the PH strike, however, small U brackets were on the wings for mounting the racks. David Aiken has indicated these were red. Torpedoes: The black nosed Type 91 mod 2 s (most easily differentiated from the mod 1 s by having 8 fins instead of 4) are supported by the photo of the torpedoes aboard Akagi and is endorsed by David Aiken from his research. Mr. Aiken has stated that the color was to easily distinguish between the mod 1 and the larger explosive load of the mod 2. The undated photo was taken in Hitokappu Bay between the first development of the Mod 2 in 1941 and June 42 (Akagi sunk). The photo is most likely from late November 1941 when Akagi was known to be in Hitokappu Bay in preparation for the Pearl Harbor strike. Akagi experts may be able to pin down other times Akagi was in the bay. In any case, this puts the photo in the correct time frame. page 9 of 10
